Prime Minister Christopher George has resigned from the top job, setting in motion a chain of events that will fundamentally change the landscape of British politics. His successor is the glamorous Charlotte Brown, with whom he's enjoyed a passionate affair, but their sordid dalliance now threatens to ruin his long-standing marriage and leave his illustrious career in ruins. George is torn between the competing interests of the two women and faces a choice; resurrect his previous business life at a private equity owned business, or accept an invitation to lead the newly conceived "One Nation!" party which reflects his advocacy for a new political paradigm. Paradigm Shift is a human story of despair and tragedy taking place in the midst of a political, economic and social crisis in recession ravaged Europe - one that starkly echoes the continent's present state of turmoil.
